ONE PLANET LIVING

Joining the dots for a better future.

Our History

At OnePlanet, we believe in a simple yet transformative idea: everything is interconnected—our health, economy, climate, communities, and the natural world. To address this, we created OnePlanet in 2019 to provide tools that help individuals and organisations build joined-up plans that connect internally and externally with citizens, customers, suppliers, and stakeholders.

Working with partners and customers, we developed an intuitive platform enabling plans to be visualised as mindmaps or detailed documents. First released in 2020, the platform fosters collaboration, transparency, and flexibility across sectors, organisations, and departments, helping people work together on Shared Outcomes to build trust, save resources, and increase impact.

One Planet Living Framework

The One Planet Living Framework was developed together with Bioregional and WWF and comprises ten simple principles underpinned with detailed sustainability goals and guidance. The framework aims to achieve a vision of a world where everyone, everywhere lives healthy, happy lives within the limits of the planet – leaving space for wildlife and wilderness.
